Trump is singlehandedly changing the Republican perception of Russia

“Force the normies into taking sides. At the moment they are just like "meh, I am minding my own business" retreating culturally into their private bubbles and "safe-spaces" since they don't understand what is going on. When the actual "us vs them" starts, they will be forced to fight or they'll die.” - Anonymous Poster

Either that, or Russia is changing the perception of Russia, and the media is trying to give Trump the credit. Which works for people who don't pay attention to the world unless something loud and orange points at it, but doesn't convince the rest of us.

Of course, the media would rather do that than admit that the U.S. is now more socialist--and more dysfunctional--than the U.S.S.R. was.

Russia is not the Soviet Union. It is a nation freed of its former communist, atheist yoke which imprisoned and murdered tens of millions of its own people. It has problems as all nations do, but there is no reason why the US and Russia as it is now cannot have friendly relations. Those who try and make Russia into the boogieman do so for their own selfish reasons which do not necessarily align with the peace and prosperity of either nation.

Except as to the rule of appointment, the United States have an indefinite discretion to make requisitions for men and money; but they have no authority to raise either by regulations extending to the individual citizens of America.

Is the cold war over or not? Russia should sanction the USA and target sanctions against the Clintons for illegally overthrowing the government of Ukraine and Libya, and attacking the Syrian government, and stealing from the people of Haiti, etc. etc.

I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.
